Karl Roth – The Rock Island Gazebo will be swingin'! With the growling vocals of the big bear on violin, and the virtuosic guitar of Jeff Drummond and Dave Hamilton. With three recordings under his belt including his debut Everybody Wants to Be A Cat (1997) featuring its standout title track; the 1998 best-seller Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas; and Almost Behavin' (2001), an elegant selection of swing jazz jewels and will be followed up by Karl’s fourth cd. Hear a preview at this show.

Karl’s charismatic performances feature his dark, rich voice, distinctive improvised violin style, and a tight swingin’ sound that has been described as a “blend between Leon Redbone and Stephane Grapelli with a hint of Barry White”. Blending a mixture of R&b, blues and jazz favourites with several ‘oddball’ treasures, the result has captured the hearts of audiences at major festivals across Canada. www.karlroth.ca
